How is the Daemonhunter army? Are they good in battle?

I understand that Scissors can beat Paper, and I get how Rock can beat Scissors, but there's no f'n way Paper can beat Rock. Paper is supposed to magically wrap around Rock leaving it immobile? Why the hell can't paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors, why can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody, a rock would tear that gak up in 2 seconds. When I play rock/ paper/ scissors, I always choose rock. Then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, oh gak, I'm sorry, I thought paper would protect you, you donkey-cave.

The Hammer

They're not reckoned as a top tier army, but they can do all right. Radicals are good for a laugh, Puritans can compete reasonably well either using psycannons and shrouding and/or Terminators with very sharp objects, considered among the strongest assault troops in the game.

When soldiers think, it's called routing.

Actually, the Radicals are more powerful than the Puritans. Especially when backed up by Marines (Recently went 6-0 with a radical Daemonhunter's army at a tournament. Check out the battle reports)

I don't think they will ever be extremely good in the tournement scene but I think it is possible to make a very effective/balanced list that would be extremely fun to play. They have plunty of fluff and very unique units to make them a very exciting army to play. I personally like the radicals myself but I beleive either radicals or puritans would be ok. Depends what flavor you like.
